Art by Alice Tangerini: Pterozonium Fée

From Plant Press Vol. 16 no. 4, October 2013

This plate of ferns was made by Alice Tangerini for David Lellinger in May 1989. The drawing was proposed for the Flora of the Guianas to illustrate three species in the genus Pterozonium (Pteridaceae): A) P. reniforme (Mart.) Fée based on the specimen Mass & Westra 4331 from Guyana; B) P. paraphysatum (A.C. Sm.) Lellinger based on the specimen Maguire 24500 from Surinam; and C) P. scopulinum Lellinger based on the specimen Maguire & Fanshawe 23430 from Guyana. Pterozonium has yet to be published for the Flora of the Guianas, and this plate has not been used in any other capacity.
